It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the old man seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen nor heard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristics of having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. All of which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could not possibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happen and the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.

The final stanza of Williams’s poem, “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” is about the painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
laiz [17]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the final three lines of the poem, we can see that the theme of the poem to death is irrelevant to the world and presents itself as an unnoticed splash for those who are not participating in this moment, but are following their lives in the best possible way. In other words, we can say that death is insignificant for those who are alive.

According to the poem and the illustration we can conclude that our suffering, represented by the pain and agony that Icarus felt, only concerns ourselves and only impacts our own life, since the people around us are busy with their own activities, however this does not diminish the size and strength of what we are going through.
